Topic: What did you pick today (Read 52339 times)

I picked loads of blackberries, grow wild on our allotment. 1 cucumber, 1 lettuce, 4 courgettes, which I managed to give away to newcomer at the allotments. French beans, runners very slow coming. Eat a few raspberries, but we need some rain soon. 2 tiny tomatoes, but more to come.

Oh many, many things were picked today. After all it is September. Tomatoes, pears, apples, plums, noshed on a couple of blackberries, cucumber, chives, carrots, chard, courgette, runner beans, French beans and a couple of crosnes. A couple of winter squashes. Food stashed in the freezer and in jars. This is definitely the month of gluts. Yum!

As I am away for a while, I went cropping for veg to take with us, potatoes, onions, courgettes, cucumbers, summer squash, tomatoes from the greenhouse and some sweetcorn. Loads of cobs ready so they are now stripped and in the freezer, just in case they spoil when we are away. I did pick a load of weeds too, but I expect their children will pop up in their place for when we get back.
